The Snow Dancer by Addie Boswell
Need a book for the young ones to curl up to on a cold, snowy day? Search no further, this is the book! What are you going to do if you wake up to find fresh snow on the ground yet to be touched? Why dance in it, of course!
This book tells a tale of a girl who becomes one with the wind and snow as she dances leaving a trail in the snow that records her movements. Unfortunately, she soon faces a problem when other children arrive to play in the snow, too, who don’t seem to understand her or her dance. She must learn to share the snow and play with them, but what of her dancing?
This tale is elegantly written and is perfect for a winter or dance themed storytime. The story uses third-person narration and tasteful illustrations to capture the beautiful movements of dance, as well as, the passion that comes from connecting with nature. Would be perfect for children around second grade.
